Lobster Shrimp Rolls Recipes

LOBSTER ROLLS

Steps:

• Lightly butter the insides of the buns or rolls and line with lettuce leaves. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper until well blended. Mix in the green onion and celery, then lightly mix in the lobster so it just gets coated without falling apart.
• Stuff the lobster filling into the buns and sprinkle parsley, basil or tarragon lightly over the filling.

WARM LOBSTER ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut the lobster meat in large (3/4-inch) dice. Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the lobster, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, until just heated through. Off the heat, sprinkle the lobster with the dill, parsley, and half of the lemon juice. Stir well.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan, until the butter sizzles. Place the rolls in the pan on their sides (you are toasting the outsides, not the insides) and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
• Place the rolls, cut side up, on a platter. Divide the lobster mixture among the 6 rolls and sprinkle with extra dill, salt, and the remaining lemon juice. Serve hot while the rolls are crisp on the outside and the lobster filling is hot.

LOBSTER & SHRIMP ROLLS

Steps:

• Ensure that lobster and shrimp are completely thawed. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator or by gradually running warm water over the meat while in a sealed plastic bag. Don't use the microwave "defrost" setting, as this will precook part of the meat, resulting in overcooking!
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Sprinkle in kosher salt and thyme to season the water.
• While the water is starting to boil, season shrimp with salt and pepper. Coat a non-stick pan with cooking spray, and cook shrimp on medium heat until pink, 3-5 minutes. Cover and place in refrigerator to cool.
• Once water comes to a boil, add lobster tails, and reduce heat to low. The water should fully cover the lobster tails.
• Steam lobster tails for about 10 minutes. The color will change to a bright red. Check the flesh to see if it looks cooked. If the meat looks clear in any part, boil for an additional minute at a time and check again.
• While lobster tails are still hot, carefully cut them in half using kitchen shears. The lobster will continue to cook in the shell, resulting in overcooking, if you don't do this.
• Remove lobster from shell using a fork, Remove any broken pieces of the shell, then cut lobster in small chunks. Remove tails from shrimp and cut into chunks of similar size.
• Blend olive oil mayonnaise, finely chopped dill, and lime juice together, then mix in lobster and shrimp pieces.
• Allow to fully cool in a refrigerator before serving.
